Bonds : Government and State
bonds were dull and steady.
Stocks-The new week at the Stock
Exchange opened with moderately
active but fevsrish market, which still
retained its professional character.
The pivotal stock OF the day was New
England, in which the trading became
unusually large aud the dealings at
times attended with much excitem ant.
The selling by the directors party still
continued, and traders who had lost
money in the stock ON the long side
were endsavoriag to evan up by short
sales. Ssrious disssnsions in the man
agement were reported, and stories
that several Of the directors had
handed in their designations were
freely circulated. The president Of the
company, however, later denied any
knowledge of such action, and the
decline in the stock was checked after
the first hour. o. the other band,
there was marked strength in Uaion
Pacific aud the 0regons, which made
slight advances. while the remainder
of the list waI weak. The return Of
Mr.. Gould and the reports that his
sentiments were bullish, caused an
upward spirit in Western Uaion late
in the cay, In which the general mar
ket sympathizSd to q certain extent.
The opening was generally firm, the
advances over Saturdays final figures
in most stocks being from ! to | per
cent, while Oregon Trarscontinentsl
was 4 higher, and New England per
cent lower. The latter, with Union
Pacific and Reading, furnished the
great bulk OF trading, and while New
Fort Worth and the
general list ware heavy to
weak, marked strength was ahown by |
Union Pacific. After the frat hour,
however, the declines were checked,
and in many cases the early losses |
were recovered before noon. A STEADY |
to firm tone was impaired to the deal
ings in the afternoon, Western Union
coming to the front. There was a
slight reaction toward 2 o'clock pm,
but the close was steady TO firm at
close to the opening figures. Salee,
3e4, 434 shares.
Railroad bonds were quist; sales,
81, l48,000. TIE tone was steady to
firm Throughout the day, and important
changes in quotations are few in mum,
Der, though generally on the side OF
higher figures.

dillgent inquiry to find out place of

been pledged their support which virtu-
ally means The same Thing.
